muscles
outlined
in pain
i know
i have
overdone
it...i was
stupid to
think i could
enter that
marathon...just
twenty six point
five miles (or
something like it)...
not the athlete
that i used to be
back in the days when
i was in college...
those days are long gone
(i came in dead last)!!

muscles
outlined
in pain
i know
i will
never walk
normally
again...i
overdid
it again...
this time baseball
is the reason
i'm hobblin' on
crutches...broke my
damn ankle when
i tripped on the ball...
guys callin' me "grace"
worse is "twinkletoes"
i wish they'd shaddup...
i am not amused!!

muscles
outlined
in pain
i know...
stupid
me...did it
again...this
time it was
football a
coupla' guys
gettin' set to
watch the BIG GAME
thought we'd toss a
few balls..."back...back...
he's goin' back..."
BAM!!!! that's when i ran
into the side of
the house...that's the last
thing i remember...
weekend athlete?? HA!!!!
